Cate Wiley moved from Denver to New York City in 2020, just in time for the coronavirus. Her most recent play, "Far Enough," was streamed as part of the One-Minute Play Festival Coronavirus Play series. Her latest full-length, "Two Truths and a Lie," set in an adult education memoir-writing class, will premiere at Theatre Unbound in Minneapolis in 2021. "The Liberation," which premiered at The Ballard Underground in Seattle in 2018, is set in Paris, at the time of the 2015 terrorist attack on the Bataclan nightclub, and addresses the sexual shaming of women. An earlier play, "Sheltered," is based on stories by homeless women and was a finalist for the 2019 Fratti-Newman Political Play Contest at the Castillo Theater in New York. A short, "Note to Self," won the 2020 Itinerant Theatre "Life Inspired" Series and will be published by Smith and Kraus. A site-specific two-hander, "The Wine Snob," was recorded for a Colorado Public Radio feature, and another play, "Homing," has also been heard on the radio. Cate studied community-based theater at Cornerstone Theater Company in Los Angeles, working on the production of At-Traction in the Los Angeles Arts District. She taught American and British drama and women writers in the English Department at the University of Colorado Denver for over twenty years, and is a member of The Dramatists Guild and the WOW Café Theater Collective.
